Question

exercise 6 (answers on page 39)
change these mixed numbers to \top heavy\fractions:

1. $5\frac{7}{8}$ 2. $9\frac{2}{3}$ 3. $2\frac{1}{2}$ 4. $1\frac{1}{8}$
2. $13\frac{1}{2}$ 6. $7\frac{3}{4}$ 7. $12\frac{2}{5}$ 8. $9\frac{5}{9}$

these \top heavy\ forms

Explanation:

1. Convert \( 5\frac{7}{8} \) to improper fraction

Step1: Multiply whole number by denominator

\( 5\times8 = 40 \)

Step2: Add numerator to the result

\( 40 + 7 = 47 \)

Step3: Write over original denominator

\( \frac{47}{8} \)

Step1: Multiply whole number by denominator

\( 9\times3 = 27 \)

Step2: Add numerator to the result

\( 27 + 2 = 29 \)

Step3: Write over original denominator

\( \frac{29}{3} \)

Step1: Multiply whole number by denominator

\( 2\times2 = 4 \)

Step2: Add numerator to the result

\( 4 + 1 = 5 \)

Step3: Write over original denominator

\( \frac{5}{2} \)

Answer:

\( \frac{47}{8} \)

2. Convert \( 9\frac{2}{3} \) to improper fraction
